For the record, all of my children have been called much worse than a pu$$y from the players on opposing teams and my youngest is not a teenager yet.  [b]The more affluent the opposing team, the more aggressive the language[/b] which is concurrent with DCUM behavior.

Witnessed this at indoor soccer this past weekend, the Arlington Coach Dad was aggressively yelling and pointing his finger at 10 year old girls at the sportsplex, we've never played against a bigger asshat. I can't imagine what damage he is doing in terms of player development.

This is our 4th year in travel & we have had 4 different coaches.  I have yet to see any real & sustained evidence of a focus on Player Development.  It has mostly been team coaching: (scrimmaging, some basic drills, some fitness, spacing and communication).  I have witnessed coaches try kids out in new positions, on the fly, and when the kid doesn't do very well in a game, they remove them or sub them.  If coaches had a plan, they would practice the kids in those new positions for a few weeks, then try them out in games and give them feedback, teach them & coach them and let them try again.  <--That would be player development so they are a more well-rounded player.  But nope! Sub them in, and pull them out, then put them back in their old position.  My kid is turning out to be a heck of L winger, but that is it.

So yes, if you want player development, you're going to have to supplement or look closely at how players are coached at practice.   Even on our top teams, we have kids who are excellent... but only at a few things, and they didn't even learn those things at our club![/quote]
